My Teddie lived to 20, and had a tumour removed from her mouth at the age of 18. Whilst I was obviously terrified of her having a general anaesthetic at that age, my vet was of the opinion that she was fit enough - age is just a number, all cats are individual, just like humans!  I really hope the new vet can help you, and just want to say I was appalled by the attitude of your previous vet!  |

My Oscar was PTS aged 23 years and 4 months and was in good health till then for an older older cat. Apart from his CRF for which he never received any treatment, other than lots of love my choice however he was never in discomfort from his CRF and a touch of arthritis he was treated by steriod jab when needed (but only approx 3 months before he was PTS not on a long term basis) My Cleo was PTS aged 24 years and 11 months, due in most part to simply old age wear and tear. She underwent an operation for a "cyst" removal and teeth cleaned when she was 23 years and 5 months. Which she bounced back from like a youngster.  So Kitty hopefuly has a fair time in front of her, the only thing with older cats they sleep so much although Oscar could still jump from the wardrobe and the shed roof when he was in his early 20's...... Best of luck and so pleased you are happy so far with your new vets. I think owners being happy means such a lot confidence in the medical information is paramount when treating anything let alone CRF and long term illnesss. Karen |

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and good advice, its so nice to hear of our furbabies living so long! The vet asked me for a urine sample from kitty... well! He gave me some special litter to put in the tray, so i did this and left it there and locked her in the house for today. I went home at dinner time and no pee... Got home at 5pm, no pee! So i decided to let her out (she like me to go out with her in to the back garden, she doesnt go out the front anymore as she cannot jump fences). I took a saucer out with me, and as soon as she squatted, i placed the saucer under her bum!!! lolol. She peed on the plate lolol! So I took the sample to my new vets immediately, it was still warm, but i must say, it smelt normal, looked clear etc, so fingers crossed. Blood tests in the morning. |
